Thank you, Linda. We lost power for 4 days, as well…but we had just recently purchased a generator. We have a wood stove, gas grill…so our only problem was the fact we couldn’t shower as we haven’t had our well pump and furnace hooked up to plug into the generator yet. We will though, eventually! We are a little higher in elevation, too, so we didn’t have the damage that you probably got. Just a few miles a way, down in elevation, it looked as though a bomb was set off! Amazing! Your picture captured the devastation! :)

We had a generator a long time ago, but sold it! duh! Living here we have never been without for more than a few hours, hard way to learn a lesson. Our grill just did not want to work, ( I think it was too cold). I got out my old cast iron skillets, and taught my son how to cook on the fireplace. We had some real “Little House on the Prairie” moments! ;O))) have a great day! Linda

We lose power a lot…and for long periods of time…or so it seems. I should have purchased a generator a long time ago! It certainly does bring to light how hard our ancestors had it and how easy we have it. Each time we lose power, I am thankful I’m from this day an age, and not from “the olden days”. And also glad I’m not Amish. lol
